Challenged on greedy games, it hardly heats up and interactions remain fluid.

The photos with the main sensor are of high quality and the software processing manages to sublimate them.

Fast charging at 80 W also works wonders: a full charge in just half an hour.

The ColorOS 12.1 software overlay provides a good user experience for navigating the menus and above all personalizing the device as much as possible.

This model will satisfy a middle school or high school student looking for a fast smartphone to juggle between messaging applications and video-intensive social networks.

The iPhone 13, the good compromise under iOS

The iPhone 13 will suit an older generation user looking for an effective upgrade.

It takes the neat design of the iPhone 12 but offers much higher performance.

Its two wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle photo sensors, coupled with the power of the iOS software, provide high-flying photo performance.

He also managed to improve his stamina to accompany the user until the end of the evening.

The differences with its cousin, the iPhone 13 Pro?

A less responsive 90 Hz Oled screen but just as well calibrated.

All the flaws noticed when it was launched in the fall of 2021 have since been corrected by iOS updates.

Its A15 Bionic chip predestines it to maintain a high level of performance over 4 to 5 years.

For who ?

A regular in the Apple ecosystem who must replace an aging iPhone without breaking the bank too much.

A person tempted by an iPhone but cooled by the idea of ​​spending the symbolic cap of 1000 euros on it.

The Pixel 7 Pro, the ultimate camera phone

Google's Pixel 7 Pro provides a level of photography in all conditions never seen before.

Look no further for the smartphone with the best photo output of the year.

Google delivered this fall a photophone that bluffs its world with photo sensors boosted by a Tensor G2 processor capable of managing everything.

The main 50 MP sensor performs in all conditions and the American manufacturer has housed a 48 MP telephoto lens in the back with an X5 optical zoom with truly dazzling precision rendering.

Beneath its somewhat massive design hides raw power and a subtle treatment of photos, especially at night where the scenery is sublimated on the 6.7-inch OLED screen (120 Hz) but, and this is the most interesting , when the photos are published on social networks, or even printed.

It also has all the latest Android 13 updates and its own innovations such as the transcription of voice messages or an integrated free VPN.

For who ?

It is more for big hands.

Ideal to replace a smartphone dedicated to collector shots which is showing signs of weakness.

It could also convince iPhone users to switch to Android.

Special thought to users of Huawei's excellent P30 Pro photophone, of which it will be a valiant successor.

The Motorola Edge 30 Neo, a compact and stylish mid-range

The Motorola Edge 30 Neo in its Very Peri color, developed by Pantone.

Few smartphones have small dimensions.

The Motorola Edge 30 Neo is one of them.

And that's a great point.

The device is easy to handle, even with one hand, helped by its remarkable thinness (7.75 mm) and its light weight of 155 g.

We also like its design, very neat, especially in its Very Peri version.

Namely the color – a kind of purple – of the year 2022 according to the Pantone brand, with which Motorola has partnered on this range, which comes in four colors in total.

But its slick look isn't the Edge 30 Neo's only asset.

It has a magnificent 6.28-inch OLED screen, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a very pleasant, uncluttered software interface, and a quite decent autonomy of a day.

Icing on the Neo, a 68 W charging block is provided in the box:

enough to fill up in just 45 minutes.

The main 64-megapixel photo sensor does a good job during the day, delivering detailed shots.

On the other hand, it is much less comfortable at night… The only major concession made by Motorola to contain the price of its (beautiful) baby.

For who ?

Users who want a compact and very stylish smartphone, with unique colors certified by Pantone, but not too demanding for night photos.
